Animated trip maps
How to animate a multi-stop travel route
A travel route animation turns an itinerary into a clear map sequence. Show where the trip starts, which places come next, and how each part of the journey moves.
Add the destinations in trip order, with at least two stops and up to six destinations.
Choose each leg as Flight, Car, or Walk, then adjust the seconds for each segment.
Set the map look with map style, lighting, video format, route line color, and line timing.
Export the MP4 in landscape, vertical video, or 4:5 post format after the route preview is ready.

How many destinations can I add?

What route and export limits apply?
Travel route exports can use up to 75,000 route coordinates, and the export request must fit within 10 MB.
Can I control timing for each leg?
Yes. Each leg can be set from 2 to 90 seconds, and the total travel export is limited to 5 to 180 seconds including transition pauses.
Which MP4 formats and quality tiers are available?
DDD Maps exports landscape 16:9, vertical 9:16, and portrait post 4:5 MP4 videos. Fast uses 854x480, 540x960, or 540x675 at 20 fps. Standard uses 960x540, 720x1280, or 864x1080 at 24 fps. High uses 1920x1080, 1080x1920, or 1080x1350 at 24 fps.

No. You can open the Travel editor and preview a travel route animation before signing up. Free includes watermarked MP4 exports. Paid Travel features require Pro.
How long does a travel route render take?
Standard landscape travel exports are estimated from the video length: about 6 seconds of setup plus 1.3 seconds per video second. Vertical or High quality exports can take longer.
